Selling your jewelry to buy bitcoin going to be right eventually, but you’ll regret it in the next few months, so this tells me that you’re either not charting or you’re not listening to those who do. The top BTC people know that it’s going to fall first. Read The Bitcoin Supercycle by Michael Terpin. You’re going to need some more jewelry to sell soon, but eventually, you’ll wish you’d sold your house.
The only president to cancel a bull run four-year cycle
The only president to crash BTC by 50% after halving
The only president to crash altcoins by 90% and rendering DCAing useless after 4 years of accumulation
The only president to start actual wars and trade wars during bull run, removing excitement
The only president to rug pull on crypto investors
The only president to unregulate AI companies to remove all market liquidity away from crypto and towards stocks
I was supposed to retire
I now have a worthless bag of alts
@SenLummis is perhaps the only person in politics who actually understands crypto and isn’t in it just to line her own pockets. Thank you, Senator, for being the voice of reason here, and thank you, @EleanorTerrett for asking the right questions!!
🚨NEW: JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon took aim at the Senate's crypto market structure bill today, arguing it "doesn't do anything for AML/BSA" and provides "almost no legal protections."
When asked for comment, a spokesperson for @SenLummis told me:
"The banks can’t deal with a bipartisan compromise on stablecoin yield and are making completely false claims about BSA/AML as a last ditch attempt to poke holes in a solid piece of legislation that protects consumers. Fear of competition always brings out an interesting side of people and that’s all this is.”
When people trust another currency more than their own government’s money, the shift has already happened.
You’re not watching a recovery. You’re watching people route around a broken system in real time.
Markets are where the truth shows up.
This is absolutely INSANE
The Turkish lira has collapsed -99.99% against the USD, while its Government 10-year bond yield surged to 33.63%, the highest ever in HISTORY
This is an economy crisis unfolding in real time
Why I stopped trying to educate people on crypto. It’s all completely insane. But it used to be believers and projects and real people caring about DAOs. And now it’s this.
🚨THE FBI CREATED A FAKE CRYPTOCURRENCY.. LISTED IT ON UNISWAP.. HIRED MARKET MAKERS TO PUMP IT.. THEN ARRESTED EVERYONE WHO SAID YES..
THIS IS THE CRAZIEST LAW ENFORCEMENT OPERATION IN CRYPTO HISTORY!!!
The FBI built an actual ERC-20 token on Ethereum called NexFundAI.. 100 billion token supply.. A professional website.. Whitepapers promising "passive income through AI-powered investing"..
It looked exactly like every other crypto project.. Because that was the point..
Undercover agents posed as the founding team.. Then reached out to professional market-making firms and said "we need you to fake our trading volume"..
Every single firm said yes..
Here's what they recorded..
Gotbit.. A firm run by a 26-year-old Russian who publicly bragged in 2019 that he built a business faking trade volumes.. His team kept internal spreadsheets with columns literally labeled "fake volume" vs "market volume"..
When asked how fast they could pump NexFundAI's volume to $1 million per day.. They said "6 hours.. It will cost about $200"..
$200 to fake $1 million in daily trading volume..
MyTrade.. Run by a guy who called himself "the mastermind".. He explained the exact psychology of the scam on camera..
"We make the chart look like a really nice roller coaster ride.. That's where people jump in.. We have to make them lose money in order to make profit"..
He said that on a recorded FBI video call..
CLS Global.. A Dubai-based firm.. Their bots generated 98% of NexFundAI's total trading volume.. When the FBI asked if they could sync fake volume spikes with fake news announcements.. They said absolutely..
ZM Quant.. Bots executing 10 to 20 trades per minute through dozens of wallets to look organic..
All of them knew it was fraud.. All of them did it anyway.. All of it was recorded..
And the clients were even worse..
Saitama.. A meme coin that hit $7.5 billion market cap.. The founders coordinated buys through private Telegram chats.. Sent "pump it" memes while manipulating the price.. Then dumped on retail investors..
$7.5 billion.. Built entirely on fake volume.. Every penny of real money came from retail investors who thought the momentum was organic..
One founder left Saitama and started Robo Inu.. Used Gotbit again.. Another launched VZZN.. Same playbook..
Lillian Finance.. Founder claimed to be a defense contractor who addressed Congress.. Marketed the token as funding children's hospitals.. Pocketed everything..
When the FBI shut it down.. They seized $25 million in one day.. 18 people indicted across the US, UK, and Portugal.. The CEO of Gotbit was arrested in Portugal and extradited.. Sentenced to 8 months plus $23 million forfeiture..
But here's the part that broke my brain..
Real people bought NexFundAI..
The FBI's fake token.. With zero utility.. Zero real developers.. Created solely to catch criminals.. Attracted real retail investors because the fake volume made the chart look bullish..
When the FBI pulled the liquidity to end the operation.. Those people lost real money.. On a government-issued token..
The FBI had to set up a restitution portal to pay them back..
And it gets worse..
Within 24 hours of the DOJ announcing the sting.. Someone cloned the FBI's exact smart contract.. Launched a copycat token.. Rode the viral momentum.. And made $127,000 in a single day..
Using the exact same manipulation tactics the FBI just arrested 18 people for..
Then in 2026.. The FBI did it again.. New token called Lexobit.. 10 more arrests.. Including operators extradited from Singapore..
IRS forensics showed that in one firm's trading.. 1,209 out of 1,221 consecutive transactions went straight back to wallets the firm controlled.. 99% circular..
The FBI proved what everyone in crypto suspected..
The volume is fake.. The charts are painted.. The momentum is manufactured..
And every time you buy a token because "the chart looks bullish".. You might be the exit liquidity.
BREAKING: A Memphis man has been arrested after allegedly scratching off EVERY SINGLE scratch-off ticket at a Germantown Exxon while working the register… because apparently his retirement strategy was “manifesting.”
According to police, 32-year-old Lemonjello Washington decided the Tennessee Lottery was basically a giant reimbursement program. Witnesses say he spent the entire overnight shift scratching tickets like a raccoon that found a Red Bull and a quarter.
The plan? Simple.
Scratch all the tickets.
Use the winning tickets to pay for the losing tickets.
Pocket the profit.
Become Memphis royalty.
Unfortunately, investigators say the math “collapsed almost immediately,” which experts are calling “the most Shelby County Schools thing ever.”
Police say Lemonjello confidently told officers:
“Y’all don’t understand… eventually one of these gone hit.”
Sir. That is not investing. That is emotional support gambling.
Things became suspicious around 3:17 AM when customers walked in asking for scratch-offs and Lemonjello allegedly replied:
“We fresh out… but spiritually we up right now.”
By sunrise, the counter reportedly looked like a confetti cannon exploded inside a bankruptcy hearing. Losing tickets were stacked knee-high. The only big winner was the Exxon trash can.
Authorities say the total losses exceeded several thousand dollars, while total winnings amounted to:
• 3 free tickets
• $11
• and a coupon for a free Mountain Dew.
🤣🤣🤣
@omgsidewalks My name, Halle, or the more conventional spelling Hallie, was popular in the 1920s and not since then. I also just found out friends in England, are naming their daughter Marigold, which I love!
